First Snow!

It finally happened - winter has arrived.  I must admit that at the moment, I am enjoying the look of crisp, white snow and the crunching sound underfoot as we walk.  In a few months I may have changed my tune but for now, this is nice.

Christmas preparations are in full swing - shopping, baking and lots more happening daily.  I think this weekend will be the time to set up the Christmas tree - the girls love decorating it and they have been asking for a while now to set it up.

The girls made their first snowman of the year - I stayed inside where it was warm and took a few photos from the dining room window!
